Ingredients

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

600 ml tomato sauce

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

30 g grated Pecorino Romano cheese

200 g white mushrooms, finely chopped

500 g ground turkey

70 g panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

100 g shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp olive oil

Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for another minute.

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, chopped basil, Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Form the mixture into 16 meatballs and place them in a baking dish.

In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and oregano, and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
